Richard and Maurice McDonald had a small business that almost certainly wouldn't even be around today if they didn't sell to Ray Kroc. The McDonald's we know is a corporation. Corporatization is the process of turning government agencies, public services, or non-business organization into corporations. A more broad interpretation would be applying corporate philosophy to non-corporate things.

McDonald's is already a corporation -- corporatization doesn't apply.

If you don't want corporations to be corporate; I don't what to tell you!

You don't need to tell me anything. Nor vic2 versa. You don't fight a corporation with reasoned debate, you need more broad tools. Customer demand. Regulations. Competition.

The big mistake here is trying to desensitize the people into thinking they have no power.

When this happens to me, I usually solve it by not posting, HTH
